TULSA, Okla., Oct. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX), a leading contractor to the energy and industrial markets across North America, today released its Fiscal 2023 Sustainability Report.
“Building on our work in fiscal 2021 and 2022, we are pleased to have issued our third Sustainability Report to share our strategy, commitment, and progress across environmental, social, and governance,” said Matrix Service Company President and Chief Executive Officer, John R. Hewitt. “In addition to our focus on strengthening our operational excellence and financial performance, we continued to make advances in environmental stewardship, in fine-tuning our already strong position in social responsibility and governance, and in incorporating sustainability into our daily operations.”
Key highlights include:

- Continuous strengthening of focus on quality, health, and safety through communication and training, ongoing implementation of our Integrated Management System (IMS), and increasing emphasis on use of our Safety Observations program;
- Formalization of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy;
- Recognition as a Great Place to Work®, a Veteran Employer Champion, and a VETS Indexes Recognized Employer, as well as participation in third-party surveys to assist in the identification of areas for improvement;
- Implementation of our Supply Chain Diversity Policy; and
- Reports on other key areas including Safety, Health, and Well-Being; Training and Development; and Community.
The report also provides more substantial information about the Company’s ESG governance and climate strategy and provides information on other key areas including ethics and compliance; quality, safety, health, and well-being; and community involvement.
Reporting Standards and Framework
Consistency and transparency are critical for ESG planning and, as such, beginning with the 2021 Sustainability Report, Matrix has adopted the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting standards and included a SASB reference table that details where the information set forth by SASB for the construction and engineering sector can be found in our public reporting. In fiscal 2022, the Company also began reporting under the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations.
By following SASB and TCFD, the Company strives to identify, disclose, and communicate sustainability information considered to be materially important to all stakeholders, and believe information reported under these frameworks will result in more consistent, comparable, and meaningful reporting.
